Among the Yankees' high profile free agents is Joe Girardi, who was born in Illinois. So it should be no surprise that there's been speculation that the Chicago Cubs could be interested in his services.

According to Dan Bernstein of CBSChicago.com, Girardi could listen to what the North Side franchise has to say: "I'm told the #Cubs have been informed by Joe Girardi's camp that he will listen if they want to talk. Indeed they do," he tweeted on Friday afternoon.

Girardi, meanwhile, spoke to WFAN's Mike Francesa on Thursday and said how much he enjoys being in New York. "I've loved it here, Mike. This has been wonderful for my family and I whether I've been a player, coach or manager. I will sit down and talk to Brian [Cashman] when the season is over. Until we sit down there is really nothing to report," the manager said.

The manager also covered what the team could do in the offseason. "I know there is a lot of money coming off the books and there is a lot of places that we have to fill some holes," he said. "You always talk about first and foremost building a rotation and that's something that we're going to have to look at. So there's a lot of work to be done this offseason, but that's happened before and the Yankees have come out and done very well. It should be an interesting offseason."
